Nurse Midwifery Programs
Nurse midwifery programs train registered nurses to become Certified Nurse-Midwives (CNMs), who provide specialized reproductive and prenatal care. These programs include advanced coursework and clinical experience in areas like childbirth, gynecology, and women's health. CNMs work independently or with physicians to offer services such as prenatal exams, labor support, deliveries, postpartum care, family planning, and health education. The goal is to support women through all stages of pregnancy and beyond, emphasizing holistic, patient-centered care rooted in nursing principles. Completing such a program prepares nurses to serve as skilled, autonomous healthcare providers focusing on women's health.
